This talk will describe the proposed UK Fourth Generation Light Source (4GLS) and the prototype facility that is nearing completion at the Daresbury laboratory. The 4GLS design is based on a 600 MeV Energy Recovery Linear Accelerator (ERL) optimised to deliver high brightness radiation at energies below 100 eV. The ERL drives three free electron Lasers (FEL’s): an IR-FEL tunable over 2.5 to 200 mkm, a VUV-FEL tunable over 3 to 10 eV and a X ray FEL tunable over 10 to 100 eV. The source will also generate both high average power (2.6 kW) and high peak power (100 MW) sources of terahertz radiation. The emerging scientific programme for 4GLS will also be described with an emphasis on proposals to exploit its capabilities in the VUV, infrared and terahertz regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are particularly exciting prospects for research programmes that exploit various combinations of the 4GLS light sources in pump probe experiments
